i'll give you one better and post the whole section up to the end of the access strings.
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
strDBType = "sqlserver"
'strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ= home.domaindlx.com\trifearious\database\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & home.domaindlx.com\trifearious("/database/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=http://home.domaindlx.com\trifearious\database\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000

ohh.. sorry. it looks rather wierd on my 1024 X768 screen, it is laid out normal, the wierd look is due to word wrap.
i am using the underlined line.

You can't use a url to access your database. Your database and forum files are on the same computer, so you can't use a url.
I'm not sure of the connection for domaindlx, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Try this:strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/trifearious/database/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual pathAnd don't worry about it not showing up correctly, I can decipher it not matter how jumbled up you post it.

well.... the forum let me in, but the screen was black with black letters.... I CANNOT SEE WHERE TO LOG IN please help with this.
all i could see was a smiley, a folder, a non-loading picture, and if i move my mouse over a part of the screen, it showed there was a link there.

Yeah, i later found that i had to log directly into the admin_home.asp to see the box, as soon as i logged in and set the first option screen(link at top of list for admin options) the forum went to the colors it is here.. from there i customized it. so somehow setting something in the first options area fixed my problem. Thanks for all your help
